DANIEL GOULD, Esq, of this town died
last Saturday, aged eighty-seven years and
nine months. He was born in Randolph in
1899, and came to this town and purchased
the farm now owned and occupied by his
son, George Gould, Esq, and made per-
manent location in 1886. AT that time only
small portion of the farm was cleared.
Being man of unusual physical strength
and muscular ability, he quickly reduced
the heavily-timbered forest to the fertile
field. He was not man that lived wholly
for himself, but was always ready to extend
helping hand TO any one in need of assist
ance. He was often called TO fill stations of
trust and honor by his fellow -townsmen,
having held the offices of justice of the
peace, lister, selectman and many other po-
sitions for a large number of years. He
also represented his town in the legislatures
of 1880 and 1851 For the past thirty-fve
years he had been constant attendant upon
the Congregational church until within the
past few months and it has been remarked
that his gray head has been missed from its
accustomed place. His last sickness, which
seemed to be wearing out of the machinery
